I am so sorry.I've seen the debris piled up from a flash flood but your story really showed the destructive power of those trees and debris piling up.Glad your horse and foal were saved.

Thank you. Me too. Everything else will clean up in time but I could not have bared to watch one of my beloved horses wash away and drown. The horse that wanted to swim the creek will not even cross a puddle most of the time. He is a big baby and has a rubber ducky in his water trough that he plays with.

An amazing little story about my flood was that about two months ago, I had lost and accidentally buried a rather expensive depth sensor for my backhoe while helping a neighbor with their road. It was lost about a mile from here. I was sick about it because it has been a slow summer and I knew that I couldn't afford to replace it for some time. While cleaning all of the debris from around my grape vines, I found my sensor just laying on the ground next to a vine right here at my house.

Wishing you all the best out there!

Doug
